Answer:

b. 54.9%

Explanation:

An emerald gemstone has the formula Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈. We can find the mass of each element in 1 mole of Be₃Al₂Si₁₆O₁₈ by multiplying the molar mass of the element by its atomicity.

Be: 3 × 9.01 g = 27.03 g

Al: 2 × 26.98 g = 53.96 g

Si: 16 × 28.09 g = 449.4 g

O: 18 × 16.00 g = 288.0 g

Total mass = 818.4 g

The mass percentage of silicon is:

(449.4 g / 818.4 g) × 100% = 54.91%

adoni [48]

Answer:

The composition of a nuclide (atomic nucleus) is defined by the number of protons Z and the number of neutrons N, which sum to mass number A.Proton number Z, also named the atomic number, determines the position of an element in the periodic table.The approximately 3300 known nuclides are commonly represented in a chart with Z and N for its axes and the half-life for radioactive decay

The given statements are radiation, convection and conduction, all warmness are convection while conduction is cold.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>

Your hand touches the burner on the stove. <u>Radiation </u>

Magma in the earth's mantle heats up and rises, then cools and sinks which causes Earth's tectonic plates to move. <u>Convection </u>

You feel the warmth of the sun on a warm summer day. <u>Radiation</u>

The warm water near the equator moves towards the cold water near the earth's poles. This phenomenon is known as a global ocean current. Convection

You accidentally touch the hot part of the iron. <u><em>Radiation </em></u>

The soup on the bottom of a pot heats up by touching the pan. Conduction

Hot soup moves to the top of the pot and cool soup sinks to the bottom. <u><em>Convection</em></u>

Your tongue touches a very cold spoon. <u><em>Conduction </em></u>

The hot pavement heats up the air directly above it. <u>Convection</u>

The warm air over land, moves towards the cooler air over the ocean which causes a windy breeze. <u><em>Convection</em></u>
